BYD says its Super e-Platform can charge 400 kilometers in just five minutes, making it faster than a Tesla or Mercedes that need double the time to achieve fewer kilometers.
The EV giant, known for upending cost and operating norms in the industry, aims to build more than 4,000 ultra-fast charging units to make the technology available across China.
BYD is reported to be considering Western Europe for a third plant because it wants to build brand recognition and acceptance as a local manufacturer.
